Bulgaria: UK’s Brexit Vote Marks ‘Bad Day for Europe’, Bulgarian PM Borisov Says

The UK’s decision to exit the European Union marks “a bad day for Europe”, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has said.

“I respect the choice of their people, although from now on it [the people] will be severely split,” Borisov told reporters in Sofia on Friday after the UK voted in a referendum to leave the EU after 43 years in the bloc.

Asked whether by saying “bad day for Europe” he meant a possible disintegration of the EU, Borisov said that these were very strong words.

“From now on the EU must show that it can do without Britain […] and we have to start thinking about Europe without them. Any negotiations about a special status should not be held because they will break the union apart," Borisov said.

“When the EU is weaker, you see how the markets react […] the pound is falling. Hence, there will be consequences for everyone,” Borisov added.
